Redhat continues to try and eliminate Docker as a competitive threat. Water is wet. They are winning, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This won't be good over the long run for the Linux community.
- xnxn 7y agoHuh. I think that Redhat's work here is a boon to the community. Docker was trying to become synonymous with containerization (they would have me say "dockerization"). We benefit from open specs and multiple implementations.
- freedomben 7y agoDo you think it's all about "eliminating Docker as a competitive threat" or is it possible they believe the arguments they put forward? I'm a skeptical person in general, but I try to give the benefit of the doubt and not always assume the worst.
- akdor1154 7y agoThey are certainly trying to compete with Docker, but are doing so by implementing a (subjectively) superior architecture. The community is winning here.
- ipbabble 7y agoI'd like to reiterate that the Podman and Buildah projects were started in order to address business needs for specific risk averse customers. The upstream work we had started with Docker still could not meet those requirements and so investment was started in alternative OCI based approaches that were essentially daemonless and were taking advantage of other enhancements in namespaces and CGroups.
